The Sunfeast World’s richest 10K made us RICH too, with the wonderful experience of big event participation. Hats off to the organisers to be able to achieve a pleasant and happy event encouraging Bangalore Runners to get together and call in several groups to RUN. The Event buzz was built up well before the event and runners could train and plan well ahead for the event. The Event saw a lot of first time event runners and made their debuts memorable adding the FUN quotient.
RWI team consisting of 25 runners and about 10 supporting members made this a memorable one. The BIBs and the goodie bags were collected on the previous day waiting for the confirmation of the runners upto the last moments of possible registration. The team would have had more young runners if they all had confirmed in time.
Team RUNWALKINDIA went out to the event with added springs in their feet but then a small mismanagement pulled us back to reach the event place only in the nick of time, Starting together as a team was not accomplished but then all runners under the banner of RUNWALKINDIA were in no mood to see any obstacles but put their best feet forward and enjoyed the Sunfeast Majja RUN. Some traffic blockades for the event misguided us to run on the 10K Path much before the Majja RUN start which made me think how could this happen even at a big event like this too. We were warming up for the MajjaRUN on the 10K Path and nobody stopped us there but in turn added encouragement. Then at the Start of the Majja RUN people were just flocking sheep at the Gate which was sorted by me to some extent (In the attire of Bangalore Builder NaadaPrabhu Kempe Gowda) Major running teams from the Reliance Group & DHL for the event were made to turn their heads at the entrant of the Team RUNWALKINDIA.
With this enthusiam the 5.7K RUN was too short and the whole team enjoyed every bit. Thanks to the coverage of the run by the CNBC-TV18 and TV9 Channels who gave me an oppurtunity to talk about RUNWALKINDIA and cheer my fellowrunners.
The whole team got together after the RUN to discuss and share their experience at the event. And not one had sore feet or feeling. Everyone enjoyed the Sunfeast biscuits which were distributed quite generously to one and all. Children enjoyed collecting friendship bands too.
But were in no mood to leave the event which prompted us do a victory lap at the Kanteerava Stadium before we left the venue.
